24 June 1974

Sound Madrid´s victory in the Cup, beating Barcelona 4-0. Barcelona was favourite. Molowny coached the white team, having replaced Miguel Muñoz, who left the Club after 25 years with no interruptions at the service of the Club.

 

3 September 1975

29 April 1978

2 June 1978

Mourning day for world soccer. Santiago Bernabeu dies, president of Real Madird during the last 35 years, he had stood by the Club since 1900. Bernabéu left as he arrived: taking nothing with him. He left behind the effort and the vitality of a life devoted to the club; he obtained the affection and the general admiration of the sports world. He was so close to Real Madrid that when he left us a little piece of our history was lost.

4 June 1980

The match between parents and children comes out as a victory for the elderly, 6-1. The score was the least important matter because the white supporters came up with a new shout Castilla, Real Madrid!

 

27 May 1981

Madrid reaches the European Cup after a long break. Boskov and the team of the Garcías is beaten with dignity by the powerful English Liverpool.
